hi i am having trouble in running python IDLE.

once i have installed EMACS and uninstalled it, whenever i try to run python IDLE it gives me:

Warning: os.path.expanduser("~") points to C:\Program Files\Emacs\, but the path does not exist

the IDLE does work, but i can't launch IDLE by simply clicking on "open with IDLE". i guess i need to change the path of os.path.expanduser to fix this error? but i can't find it. where should i look for and which path does it originally point?

thank you.

According to the doc,

On Windows, HOME and USERPROFILE will be used if set, otherwise a combination of HOMEPATH and HOMEDRIVE will be used. An initial ~user is handled by stripping the last directory component from the created user path derived above.

You can try run 'set' in command prompt to see if these two environment variables are set or not. If yes, remove the setting.
